JOHN W. POTTER.

By the action of the democratic state
central committee in Chicago last week
the entire democratic party Of the state
becomes involved in the Springfield post,
master controversy This is much to be
regretted, as nothing is so demoralizing
to party organization as family
quarrels. While there may be sufficient
grounds for the action of the committee,
it would have been manifestly better for
the party to have the attention of the
postoffice department called to the case
by the individuals who are so ANXIOUS to
Dust Mr.. Clendenin. If it can be proven
that Mr.. Clendeinin was in any way cons
nected with the printing combine, which
so Systematically pillaged the state treas
ury through the intrigue of republican
officials, he should be decspitated forth
with, but until such evidence is f0rthcom
ing denunciation of Mr.. Clendenin
should be reserved. He is one of the
leading democrats of the state. and his
paper has always been an able and fear
less exponent of democratic doctrines, but
if he is guilty he should be exposed with
the rest. The action of the state COM
mittee, however, proves conclusively that
the party is honest in its expressian of re-
form, and that it will not attempt to
shield its own mem bers if they do not
conduct themselves properly, and for the
public good.

vesr,gauon OF Democratic officials. The

vesuigauon OF Democratic officials. The
league, they say, preferred charges against
Mr. Spaulding, the Republican predecessor
of Collector Seeberger, and has been impartial
in its treatment of Republican and Demo
cratic collectors at that port The reason,
they explain that complaints from the civil
service leagues and associations, Of violations
of the civil service law, have been more
frequent since the Inauguration Of the present
administration. is that since March, 1885
every Republican clerk removed, however
incompetent, could come TO them and main
tain that his dismissal was due to the fact
that he did not belong to the party in power
Under the circumstances, these associations
have shown, from the comparatively few
cases in which they have preferred charges,
how successfully they have resisted i'm
portunity to become the champions of incom-
potency, dishonesty, laziness and negligence
In conclusion, Commissioners Oberly and
Lyman state that the commission will in duty
bound continue TO investigate charges of vio-
lations of the law and rules wherever such
charges come from reputable bodies of citi-
zens, whether called leagues, associations, or
committees, and whether composed Of Demo
Gratis or Republicans. The vigilance of the
opposition party, they add, always has ten
dency to keep the party in power close to the
straight line of duty, and the members of the
opposition have the right, which the commits
sion respects, TO organizs for the express pur-
pose of detecting violations of the civil service
law and rules, and for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether the law is being faithfully
executed, or is being nulified by non execu-
ton or evasion of its letter or spirit

sewers and Uses up the New One
on Twenty seventh street

Saturday Nights DeIuge Floods the
sewers and Uses up the New One
ON Twenty-seyeBth street
Over two inches of water fell within
an hour Saturday evening, and a more
soaking, drenching, driving, flooding
down pour than that which commenced
at els that evening is not recalled in the
memory of the oldest inhsbitsnt. Gen.
orally speaking, it was not disastrous
rain, such as is driven along with the
wind or other accompanying disturbance,
but it was dense, sheet like, downright
pour that comes right down from the
celestial reservoir without stopping on
the way to make connections.
On the bluffs and business portion of
town no damage was done by
the storm, but IN the west end low
lots were flooded and scores of cellars
were filled. From Twenty-third street
east and as far south as Sixth avenue the
serious results we're more apparent. The
water came down from the bluffs with a
rush and a roar;the sewers were all filed to
OVERLOOKING and avenues, streets and
yards were swsmped 1t was deIuge and
the sewers had not the capacity to carry
off the water as fast as it rushed In The
partially completed sewer running along
Fourth avenue, from Twenty third street
east, and known as the Twenty seventh
street sewer, collapsed in several places.
The rush of the water inside and the
great pressure above caused it to cave in
the middle of the block between TWEEN
ty-third and Twenty-fourth streets. and
at several points up through the lomber
yard. The neighborhoods adjacent to
the breaks were flooded and the rain had
ceased some time before the overflow sub
sided.
The giving away of the new sewer is
attributed by those who nave had expert
ence in such matters to the use of i'm
proper material in the construction of the
sewer and ignorance of the manner of
constructing it. Cobble stones were
used in some places where there should
have been solid rock, and the excavation
should have been kept moistened when
the filing was being done 1t will cost
not less than $500, and probably $500, to
repair the damage

Rising Lights in Obscure Places.
WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 5.-The disciples
Of -E.culapus are marshalling in great force
here to attend the international medical con
gress. Already about 1900 doctors from a
score of foreign countries and every state
and territory in the Union have registered
their names with the general secretary, and
many more recruits from this army of doc
tors are yet expected.
One of the great objects of the gathering
is to promote research in medical science by
bringing the doctors together. 1t is a sort of
medical exchange, where the new ideas of
physicians from all over the world, and the
results of their experience will be brought,
tested, and upon receiving approval, put
out as currency. a prominent officer Of the
CONGRESSMAN eminent surg e0n-Said that this
congress would be peculiar in some respects.
There are a great many new doctors
coming TO the front While there is a long
list of eminent physicians who will present
papers, many of the commun cations come
from comparatively unknown physicians in
small cities or towns throughout the country.
The surgeons position has required him to
look over the abstracts of many papers to be

congress would be surprised at the amount Of
knowledge displayed in these papers,
"There are papers" he said, written by
village doctors that are most exhaustive and
complete These ure men who have not the
advantages Of being near great consulting
libraries OF course they take the medical
journals. Some of them have been thinking
and working on their papers for month.
and when they get through with their subjects
it is not likely any one else can add anything
to what they have to say. Some of the old
fellows will have to make room for these new
fellows, who are coming to the 'front.'
